planted_partition_graph

planted_partition_graph(l, k, p_in, p_out, seed=None, directed=False)[source]

Returns the planted l-partition graph.

This model partitions a graph with n=l*k vertices in l groups with k vertices each. Vertices of the same group are linked with a probability p_in, and vertices of different groups are linked with probability p_out.

Parameters
lint

Number of groups

kint

Number of vertices in each group

p_infloat

probability of connecting vertices within a group

p_outfloat

probability of connected vertices between groups

seedinteger, random_state, or None (default)

Indicator of random number generation state. See Randomness.

directedbool,optional (default=False)

If True return a directed graph

Returns
GNetworkX Graph or DiGraph

planted l-partition graph

Raises
NetworkXError

If p_in,p_out are not in [0,1] or
